2019 rmk 850 w/sidekick runs fine on trail but bogs in deep snow.

I have a 19’ rmk 850 that I just bought. It has Idaho high compression heads and runs on 91. The boondocker box is the non adjustable kind, so I don’t know which time is on it . It has upgraded injectors, not sure what brand. Also black diamond adjustable clutch weights. I ride at 9-12k’
My issue is it runs fine at 8400 RPMs at wide open throttle on the trail and light snow but when I get into snow up to the hood, it bogs out at wide open throttle. I can get it to run smooth with short wide open throttle chops, but anything longer than four seconds it kicks the RPMs down to 78 Ish.
The fact that it runs flawlessly on the trail all the way through the rpm’s has me confused. Ithe bog feels like it’s cutting power kinda like a rev limiter but it’s at 7800 when it’s happening. I’m just trying to see if I can track down the problem before I take it to a dealer and lose seat time for a few weeks.

Sounds like a clutching issue to me. If the engine runs up to full RPM in full throttle on the trail then it sounds like the engine's okay. When you're on the trail you have low load, lower torque on that secondary, but in deep snow the load and torque goes higher. Maybe your weights in spring ratios are not correct. I'd look into your clutching first.
